the debate on the hill has been downright discouraging. republicans and democrats resorting to name-calling as the year comes to a close. this is what we can expect in 2013, more partisan bickering? i'll vote yes. eamon javers is back with what may be ahead on the hill. >> reporter: 2013 is going to be the year that wall street lurns to love elizabeth warren. since she's been appointed to the senate banking committee says they think they can work with elizabeth warren. part of the reason is she's going to sit all the way down here as one of the least senior members of the senate banking committee and also because they say they think that warren is going to want to take a much broader approach as a united states senator than just focusing on wall street or consumer issues. immigration reform is coming here to capitol hill and the battle is going to be what's in the final bill, and particularly what's the path to citizenship forexisting undocumented workers here and the penalties for employers who have hired them. all of wall street will be

>> 21, 22. >> i would say 22. >> so we have to get it down to 20.5. >> the three big beasts in the budget remain medicare/medicaid, social security and defense. you have to cut almost everything else to zero to get close to balance or to make a big difference. so i think in today's world, given that those entitlements, even if you reform them and cut back back will increase as people like us eventually retire. it seems to me that sizing the government for something around 22 or so is probably doable. but not easy to get to. because you still have to have major cuts and major long titlement reform to get there. >> you see one of the major ceo guys, and i'm not going to quote which one, said yesterday looking for premiums on insurance to double because of obama care. and he said -- he made it very clear. he said we're going to cover 30 million people that aren't covered right now and it has to be paid for. irchbls's premiums are going to double. that they didn't tell us. >> that the costs would be up slightly. >> also, that's 30 million, 10% of the population. >> and that he they gave numbe
